Children are being indoctrinated in the practice of Kwanzaa as a way to slowly introduce them to Marxist thought by another name.

These children are too young for this stuff.

Festive Marxism is still Marxism, and it shouldn't be clandestinely taught to impressionable children too young to critically examine the subject, often time without parental knowledge of what's going on or what's behind Kwanzaa.

How do you explain to a first grader that a certain philosophy requires mommy and daddy be slaughtered in a reeducation camp for being counterrevolutionary bourgeois pigs? What should they be told as the justification for participating in an armed insurgency along lines of skin color?

There's no good way to introduce impressionable children to the ugliness of this philosophy. Let them study it in late high school or college when they're mentally capable of understanding evil in proper historical context.

One could say the same of evangelical xianity. Just saying...

Also, could someone please explain what the connection between Marxism and Kwanzaa is? I´ve looked and I cannot figure it out.

"Children are being indoctrinated in the practice of Kwanzaa as a way to slowly introduce them to Marxist thought by another name."

Another name entirely, it would seem. You may as well call the Sun the moon and claim they're the same thing.

"These children are too young for this stuff."

Oh, come now. You're only saying that because they're not being indoctrinated with Christianity.

"Festive Marxism is still Marxism, and it shouldn't be clandestinely taught to impressionable children too young to critically examine the subject, often time without parental knowledge of what's going on or what's behind Kwanzaa."

Someone needs to do a "Fix'd" on this because it's just begging to have "Christianity" stuck in there.

"How do you explain to a first grader that a certain philosophy requires mommy and daddy be slaughtered in a reeducation camp for being counterrevolutionary bourgeois pigs? What should they be told as the justification for participating in an armed insurgency along lines of skin color?"

You're a strange one. At least you're on the right site.

"There's no good way to introduce impressionable children to the ugliness of this philosophy. Let them study it in late high school or college when they're mentally capable of understanding evil in proper historical context."

How do you explain to a first grader that he didn't get any Christmas presents this year, because some money-grubbing corporate CEO laid his dad and many others off to increase his profit margin and put more money into the already wealthy shareholders pockets?

How do you explain to a little girl that her mother died because insurance wouldn't cover her cancer medication, and they didn't have the money for it?

Those are the things kids in Capitalist societies face all the time.

Marxism in concept isn't evil, only those who implemented it were.

And how does celebrating your heritage lead to "armed insurgency"? Oh wait, it's Moonbuggery. Eating a candy bar leads to armed insurgency in their world.

"Children are being indoctrinated in the practice of Christianity as a way to slowly introduce them to conservative fundamentalist thought by another name.

These children are too young for this stuff.

Festive Chritianity is still Christianity, and it shouldn't be clandestinely taught to impressionable children too young to critically examine the subject, often time without parental knowledge of what's going on or what's behind Christianity.

How do you explain to a first grader that a certain philosophy requires mommy and daddy to be tortured in hell for eternity? What should they be told as the justification for participating in comsuming the body parts of a Jewish zombie?

There's no good way to introduce impressionable children to the ugliness of this philosophy. Let them study it in late high school or college when they're mentally capable of understanding ridiculous,bigoted nonsense in proper historical context."

Kwanzaa- a harvest festival celebrated from Dec. 26th until Jan. 1st in some African-American communities.

Marxism-the system of economic and political thought developed by Karl Marx, along with Friedrich Engels, esp. the doctrine that the state throughout history has been a device for the exploitation of the masses by a dominant class, that class struggle has been the main agency of historical change, and that the capitalist system, containing from the first the seeds of its own decay, will inevitably, after the period of the dictatorship of the proletariat, be superseded by a socialist order and a classless society.

As it happens, I went to a Kwanzaa festival last night, in my role as a reporter. Only white guy there. They may have left out the Marxism because I was watching - I wasn't inconspicuous - but nobody seemed to mind me either. And I heard a lot about family togetherness and mutual support. How you get from there to slaughtering counterrevolutionary pigs, I'm not sure.
